Nurse Entrepreneurs: This $5K Move Could Be Your Ticket to Investors at HLTH 2025

For years, healthcare’s biggest conferences have been where the major decisions get made—by investors, health system executives, payers, policymakers, and tech leaders. Historically, nurses weren’t at that table, despite being the largest segment of the healthcare workforce and the people who most often see firsthand where systems fail and patients suffer.

To HLTH’s credit, that’s changing. When they learned about the growing movement of nurse-led innovation, they carved out a dedicated space right on the show floor: The Nurse Innovators Pavilion.

This isn’t just a nice gesture. It’s a bold recognition that nurses bring some of the most practical, impactful, and market-ready solutions to healthcare’s toughest problems. Nurses don’t just understand the challenges, they live them every day, which means they also know exactly which solutions will work in real clinical settings.

By exhibiting here, you’re not just buying a kiosk, you’re joining a movement to show the world the power of nurse-led innovation. It’s a chance to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other nurse-founded companies and prove that frontline insight leads to groundbreaking products.
